The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Rare" by the artist "Waterparks"

Contents

In Waterparks' song "Rare", the lyrical protagonist addresses a person who apparently had a profound impact on him in his youth. Despite the fact that they are no longer seventeen, the protagonist's feelings have not faded, and he still considers this person his "teenage dream".

The phrase "I save my metaphors for rainy days" could mean that the protagonist is not usually prone to excessive sentimentality and open expression of feelings. However, in this case, he is overwhelmed with emotions and decides to be completely frank.

The protagonist confesses that he can't stop thinking about this person ("My consuming thoughts ain't got no weekends") and that they are his "point of no return". He hopes that the object of his affections is doing well and wishes them only the best ("I just hope you're in a better place").

There is a certain ambiguity in the lyrics. It is not clear whether these feelings are mutual and whether the protagonist communicates with this person in the present. Perhaps this person is no longer a part of his life ("Maybe you're alright where you are now"), but the protagonist still considers them "rare".

At the end of the song, the protagonist acknowledges the strength of his feelings ("Think it's kinda strange I need your love this bad") and reiterates his desire for this person to be well.

I save my metaphors for rainy days

When I'm too phased, but that's not here or there so I'll give you the phrase that pays

'Cause we're not seventeen, but you're my teenage dream

If there's a chance we'll sink then I don't even wanna try

To sleep or dream

To sleep or dream

I just hope it's nicer where you are

'Cause I only want to lift you up

I guess I never really said enough

For you to hear me where you are

'Cause I only want to lift you up

I guess I never really said enough

So let me tell you now

My tired thoughts don't take vacations, oh no

You float up in conversations, oh no

You're my final destination, I know

You're probably fine there

Just know I think you're rare

Let's make some plans for time to waste

Your Cali gaze has stuck me spinning, dripping sweetness hidden in my face

'Cause we're not seventeen, but you're my teenage dream

If there's a chance we'll sink then I don't even wanna try

To sleep or dream

To sleep or dream

I just hope it's nicer where you are

'Cause I only want to lift you up

I guess I never really said enough

For you to hear me where you are

'Cause I only want to lift you up

I guess I never really said enough

So let me tell you now

My tired thoughts don't take vacations, oh no

You float up in conversations, oh no

You're my final destination, I know

You're probably fine there

Just know I think you're rare

You know I think you're rare

I wasn't prepared

I've got to say

I think it's weird I need your love

I've clocked 300 ways

You know I think you're rare

I wasn't prepared

And now my stomach's cold

And I hope it's nicer where you are

'Cause I only want to lift you up

I guess I never really said enough

For you to hear me where you are

'Cause I only want to lift you up

I guess I never really said enough

So let me tell you now

My tired thoughts don't take vacations, oh no

You float up in conversations, oh no

You're my final destination, I know

You're probably fine there

Just know I think you're rare

(Just know I think you're rare)
